Short Films by Caroline Monnet

Montreal-based filmmaker and multimedia artist Caroline Monnet combines striking, often abstract visuals and evocative soundscapes to explore Indigenous identity, the reverberations of colonialism, and hidden cultural histories. Encompassing an inspiring portrait of a Chippewa mixed martial artist ( Emptying the Tank ), a dynamic journey across Canada’s first First Nations–owned railway ( Tshiuetin ), and a surreal study of an unraveling suburban housewife ( Roberta ), Monnet’s innovative films communicate complex ideas through bracingly visceral means.
